Dear Editor,

Experienced leader. Problem-solver. Listener.

That’s what I look for in local elected officials, and that’s what I’ve found in Carol Kunzeman. Carol will make a first-rate county commissioner. In Ponderay, she served on the city council and then two terms as mayor. In addition to responsible daily management, her record of accomplishment includes helping to get SPOT buses on the road, assisting in the creation of the Pend Oreille Bay Trail and fostering the “Field of Dreams” vision for Ponderay.

Carol has also worked in the corporate world and, as owner-operator of small businesses, understands the challenges of private sector employment and leadership.

She is a collaborator who knows how to get things done, not with ideological bombast, but by respectfully listening to her constituents and building coalitions. She has an old-fashioned notion of public service over partisanship that is particularly suited to county government at this fractious time.

She has my vote on May 15, and I hope she has yours.
